Jannah Defined According to The Holy Quran

“Jannah”, the ultimate gift promised by Allah (SWT) for believers and people who walk the path of righteousness. It is defined in the Holy Quran as the never ending after life of pure blessings and peace. The word Jannah comes from Arabic scripts which means hidden or unseen. As Jannah or Heaven is a place which is not seen by humans, but it is definitely the final destination of individuals who believed in Allah (SWT) and followed his laws and strived in the world to be among the people whom Allah (SWT) was pleased with. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:

“And whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, while being a believer – those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged, [even as much as] the speck on a date seed.” [Quran, 4: 124]

Jannah As Described in the Quran

The Quran describes Jannah as

“… a beautiful place of final return — a garden of eternity whose doors will always be open to them.” (Qur’an 38:49-50)

People who enter Jannah

“… will say, ‘Praise be to Allah who has removed from us (all) sorrow, for our Lord is indeed Oft-Forgiving, appreciative; who has settled us in the house of lasting residence out of His bounty. No toil nor sense of weariness shall touch us therein.'” (Quran 35:34-35)

The Quran says that in Jannah

“Is the description of Paradise, which the righteous are promised, wherein are rivers of water unaltered, rivers of milk the taste of which never changes, rivers of wine delicious to those who drink, and rivers of purified honey, in which they will have from all [kinds of] fruits and forgiveness from their Lord….” [Quran, 47: 15]
